Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If your children are adults, you do not have to provide for them in your estate plan - you can leave your estate to whomever you choose; however, if you do not complete an estate plan during your lifetime, your children may be the statutory heirs of your estate. I recommend you consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your objectives.

Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

Answered by attorney Gerald A Bagazinski (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gerald A. Bagazinski
This is a complex question because it can happen. Does the surviving spouse have any rights. Possibly. She may have a dower interest in any real estate owned by the husband she did not sign off on which was transferred to the trust or corporation during their marriage. A spouse may also be entitled to any 401(k) funds from a pension unless the spouse signed off on a transfer or change of beneficiary. Under Michigan law you have a spousal allowance, an exempt property allowance and a homestead allowance for all property required to be probated.

Is an un-notarized will valid?

Estate Planning lawyer at Paul A. Nidich Attorney at Law
A will in Ohio does not have to be notarized. Instead, it needs to be witnessed by two individuals who sign the will in the presence of the person creating the will and in the presence of each other. If this is done, the will is valid. Note: This is not true for all states.
